Here's how.<\/p>\n<p>Follow these steps or watch the video below.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Head into your Notes app on your phone - this is where all your iPhone's scanner features live.<\/li>\n<li>Once you're there, tap the pen icon in the bottom corner to start a new note<\/li>\n<li>In the new note you have a few icons appear mid way down the screen. Tap the camera icon and we'll then see some extra options.<\/li>\n<li>Press scan document to get the scanning process started.<\/li>\n<li>Grab the document you want to scan (works best if it is placed on a flat surface) and focus it inside the camera frame.<\/li>\n<li>The document will be surrounded by a yellow box once your iPhone has recognised it.<\/li>\n<li>If your iPhone camera doesn't automatically recognise the document after a couple of seconds, you can also press the circle capture button to capture it manually.<\/li>\n<li>If you have a document with several pages just follow this capture process with each page one after the other.<\/li>\n<li>When you've finished capturing all the pages, just press the save icon.<\/li>\n<li>The documents will then appear in your notes and you can add any text you'd like underneath or edit the name of the file.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to delete a page, tap the toolbar on the top right and you'll see three dots appear on the pages - tap that and along with several other options you'll also see delete page.<\/li>\n<li>Your scanned documents can then either be viewed on your phone or you can share or email them as a PDF document.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/o5Typp6zAYI<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/subscription\">newsletter<\/a> for more mobile phone help and
